At a school board meeting, trustees discussed the possibility of keeping Leo James Leo Elementary School near Palmview and Rosendo Benavides Elementary School in Sullivan City open. 

“I will work, and the board here will work to bring this back and make sure that we work together to keep these schools open,” La Joya school board President Alejandro Cantu said during the meeting. 

The district announced earlier this month plans to close down the campuses at the end of the school year due to low enrollment numbers.
